        I guess my question is more, what is Trump saying that is the same as Tankies? Trump isn’t anti Capitalist.

            Putin is definitely a dictator who started the war, and invaded Ukraine.

            But doesn’t every country have the right to defend itself? (Not that Russia is ‘defending itself’ in this case)

              I don’t know why you’re asking a question that you answered. Yes they do, but that’s not what Russia is doing. That’s their excuse and it makes no sense. Ukraine has a right to defend itself. Russia is invading.

      “Not even close, babyyyyyyy.” They might claim some different underlying beliefs, but in practice, just like Libertarians, they’re just conservatives trying to hide the fact that they’re conservatives by cosplaying as other groups.

      AnCaps are idiots that accept the Austrian school of economics.

      Tankies are in general poorly educated leftists with limitied logical processing skills.

      Tankies supposedly oppose capitalism, and they only support anarchism when it’s in the West.

      The term is derived from those who sided with the tanks when the USSR rolled into towns and later when the CCP sent the military on their own citizens during an event that resulted in millions of deaths across their nation. You know, “communists” but without any power in the hands of the workers.
